Seriously good stuff, more photos of the construction please!!

Hi,

 

Some pics now in my gallery Duchess construction shots. Are there any particular aspects you are interested in as I'll see if I can find something relevant.

Thanks for the positive comments,folks. You could get a nice 2mm layout in 25' by 10'! I'll try to add more pics soon, not sure how to at the moment.

This is looking really good. What are the origins of the model, DJH?

Don't forget to fit the axle boxes on the tender.

I built one from the DJH kit which I thought was very good as far as the body was concerned, the only modification I made was to lower the cab roof slightly.

As I build in P4 I replaced the kit chassis with one from Comet

Can we see some more photos please

 

Hi Phil,

 

Thanks for your comments. This is 2mm finescale model. Its built from an etched kit, the artwork for which I prepared. Various boiler fittings etc are cast brass from my masters, and the boiler/ firbox is a whitemetal casting. Its necessary to leave the tender axleboxes off until they are painted as otherwise its difficult to spray the tops. Also, its easier to apply lining round the frame cutouts without the axleboxes in situ.

 

I'll try to dig out a few more photos.

 

Regards,

 

Nigel
